Druckman – Conversions invalid

B"H

The European Rabbis Conference stated that they will not recognize conversions done by a Beit Din of Rabbi Chaim Druckman.
All converts to Judaism who converted with Chaim Druckman should get familiar with the idea that their conversion is invalid and that they are not Jewish according to Halacha.

In Israel, Rabbi Chaim Druckman, is famous for converting anyone to Judaism without even checking who this person is. The European Rabbis Conference stated that Druckman also went abroad (to Europe) in order to convert people. Druckman didn't even know the candidates and was completely unfamiliar with the infrastructure where the candidates lived. Jews in the States might be used to kosher food but Europe doesn't have such an infrastructure of kosher shops or active community life. And Druckman even converted people from regions without any Jewish community or kosher shops.


Chaim Druckman

Chaim Druckman' s conversion caused a great investigation in Israel, as he converted people who openly don't keep any Torah Mitzwot. At the moment, Israeli authorities haven't made up their mind what is going to happen to those converts. Are they Jewish or not and can they keep their Israeli ID ?
